Here is the next bit of torment for you lovely people! It end with a nasty cliffhanger, so be warned. There is quite a bite of sadness in this chapter but it is shorter than the rest. I'll try to make the next one longer but we will es how it goes. I am not sure how I am going to finish it yet. I still haven't decided how I want to end this yet. I am close but every time I write a scene I end up hating it so I have to start all over. I hope you have a box of tissues, you might need it. I also recommend listening to Give it All by He is We. It goes well with it and it what I listened to while writing this chapter. Hope you enjoy it!

Ancient Magic: Last Chance

Romeo

"Come on Wendy!" I stared at her as I listened to the beats get slower and slower. Charla clung to my leg. Just wake up, that's all she needed to do. If she didn't do it now she wasn't going to survive.

"Wendy, PLEASE!" I hear Charla scream. Just as she finishes screaming we hear it. The flatline. A constant steady beep. The doctor pulls a white sheet over Wendy's face and gives his condolences with a straight face. Charla is screaming and crying against my leg. I don't know how to feel. I don't feel anything, I am just numb. This can't be real.

"No! She isn't dead! She isn't, Why aren't you waking up Wendy! This isn't funny! It's time to wake up now!" I start to stride towards her, I can here Charla screaming at me to stop. I ignore her. I am just about to pull the sheet back when Natsu and Gajeel grab my arms.

"LET ME GO! SHE ISN'T DEAD! SHE ISN'T DEAD!" I struggled against them. I felt a sting against my face. Lucy was standing in front of me.

"ENOUGH ROMEO! She is DEAD! ENOUGH. JUST STOP! Please." Lucy collapsed to her knees. I collapsed right after her. I screamed into the floor. I just screamed.

"WENDY!" I sit up straight. I take a minute to adjust to my surroundings. I'm in my bed, in my house, and currently covered in sweat.

"Romeo?" I look left and see Charla rubbing her eyes.

"Sorry, Just a dream." I say and lay back down.

"Was it that one again?" She asked. I just nodded in response.

"It's today isn't it?" I asked her, and tears welled up in her eyes as she nodded yes. I get out of bed and head for the bathroom.

"I guess we better get ready. We want to look good when Wendy wakes up." I said as I shut the bathroom door behind me. I couldn't help it, as soon as I got in the shower I started crying. Our three months are up today, she really hasn't changed much. She hasn't even flinched. I don't know what we are going to do. I'm scared, no, I am terrified. I don't know what I would do if I lost her now. I need her. I can't do this without her.

I step out of the shower and look in the mirror. I look much different than from the first time I woke up. I've gotten all of my muscle back and my hair shines like it used to. I look like I did before all of this happened. There are so many things I need to tell her, to show her. I needed to tell her about Natsu and Lucy. They finally just started to date last month. Also, Levy and Gajeel got married four months ago, I know how badly she wanted to go. She'll be sad she missed it. I need her. I need her with me.

"Romeo..you have to come out now. We are going to be late." Charla called to me through the bathroom door.

"I'll be right out, will you grab the flowers?"

"Sure. Meet you at the door." I pulled on my pants and threw on my shirt and walked out the bathroom door. Charla was right where she said she was going to be, at the front door.

"Ready?" I ask her.

"Ready." she says with a small nod.

"Okay, let's go." and with that we head out the front door. We don't even know if our hearts will be in one piece when we get back. It's a short walk to the hospital, it seem like it took forever on the day I came home though. I pause before walking into the hospital doors. It's terrifying.

"Romeo?" Charla questions.

"Charla, if she wake up will you let her move into the apartment with us or will you go back to Fairy Hills with her. I don't think I can live alone anymore, won't you stay with me?" I almost begged her.

"Of course we will stay with you. I wouldn't be able to take her from you again. Not again." She flew into my arms.

"Ready?" This time she was asking me.

"Ready." and with that we walked into the hospital. You could tell how nervous we were. We were completely silent, our bodies we shaking like leaves. It was kinda hard to stay upright. We made it to her room, we could see the doctor waiting inside. We walked in silently, he looked up when he heard the door close.

"I'll give you a minute to say anything you want." the doctor said and left without another word. I walked to Wendy with Charla. I opened my mouth but nothing came out.

"Wendy, Can you hear me? It's time to wake up now. We are going to turn off the machines in a minute. Please don't leave me alone." Charla said but her voice was beginning to quiver. She went to speak again but I squeezed her shoulders.

"Wendy, I'm still in love with you. I'd really like the chance to get to tell you while one of us isn't dying, so please wake up. Charla misses you, I miss you. Please come back to us." I was going to say more but then the doctor can back in with Lucy, Natsu, Gajeel, Levy, and Mira.

"It's time." was all he said and walked over to the machine. I grabbed Charla and took a few steps back. For a moment we all just stared at her. Then one by one the doctor turned off the machines. He save the respirator for last and with one final push, he turn it off.

"Come on Wendy!" I stared at her as I listened to the beats get slower and slower. Charla clung to my leg. Just wake up, that's all she needed to do. If she didn't do it now she wasn't going to survive.

"Wendy, PLEASE!" I hear Charla scream. Just as she finishes screaming we hear it. The flatline. A constant steady beep. The doctor pulls a white sheet over Wendy's face and gives his condolences with a straight face. Charla is screaming and crying against my leg. I don't know how to feel. I don't feel anything, I am just numb. This can't be real.

"No! She isn't dead! She isn't, Why aren't you waking up Wendy! This isn't funny! It's time to wake up now!" I start to stride towards her, I can here Charla screaming at me to stop. I ignore her. I am just about to pull the sheet back when Natsu and Gajeel grab my arms.

"LET ME GO! SHE ISN'T DEAD! SHE ISN'T DEAD!" I struggled against them. I felt a sting against my face. Lucy was standing in front of me.

"ENOUGH ROMEO! She is DEAD! ENOUGH. JUST STOP! Please." Lucy collapsed to her knees. I collapsed right after her. It was just like my dream. Why? Why? How could this happen? How could she leave me?

"WENDY!" I screamed into nothing.

Beep.
